Polyamory
and Ethical
Non-monogamy

Therapy that understands relationships beyond the traditional script.

Navigating polyamory or ethical non-monogamy can be deeply rewarding, but it can also bring challenges that many therapists have little experience helping clients navigate. You shouldn't have to spend your therapy session explaining what your relationship structure means before you can begin talking about what actually brought you in.

Whether you're exploring non-monogamy for the first time, building new relationship agreements, managing conflict, or simply looking for a therapist who understands your relationships without judgment, therapy can provide space to explore what matters most to you.

Your relationship structure isn't something I assume needs to be fixed. Instead, we'll focus on helping you build relationships that are healthy, intentional, and aligned with your values.

Beyond
"poly-friendly"

Affirming therapy means more than simply accepting non-monogamy.

Polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous relationships involve unique conversations about communication, boundaries, attachment, intimacy, time, autonomy, and trust. They also exist within a culture that often misunderstands or stigmatizes them.

At the same time, not every challenge you're facing is because you're non-monogamous.

Just like anyone else, you may be navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, family relationships, work stress, or life transitions. My role isn't to attribute every concern to your relationship structure. It's to understand the full context of your life and help you move toward the relationships and life you want to build.

I may be a good fit if you’re…

  • Exploring whether polyamory or ethical non-monogamy is right for you.

  • Opening an existing relationship.

  • Building or revisiting relationship agreements.

  • Navigating jealousy, insecurity, or comparison.

  • Strengthening communication and conflict resolution.

  • Exploring attachment and emotional security.

  • Managing differences in needs or expectations.

  • Balancing multiple relationships and competing responsibilities.

  • Processing stigma, misunderstanding, or family concerns.

  • Looking for a therapist who won't treat non-monogamy as the problem.

My approach

Every relationship system is different.

Rather than assuming there is one "right" way to practice non-monogamy, we'll explore what works for you and the people involved in your relationships. Together, we'll examine the patterns that support connection, the places where relationships become strained, and the ways you can respond more intentionally to challenges as they arise.

My work is collaborative, relational, and grounded in curiosity. Therapy isn't about helping you fit someone else's definition of a successful relationship. It's about helping you create relationships that reflect your own values, needs, and goals.

I work with a variety of relationship structures

My practice welcomes people in many forms of consensual non-monogamy, including:

  • Polyamorous relationships

  • Open relationships

  • Swinging

  • Relationship anarchy

  • Solo polyamory

  • Hierarchical and non-hierarchical polyamory

  • Monogamish relationships

  • People who are exploring or questioning whether non-monogamy is right for them

Whether you're attending individually, with one partner, or with multiple partners, therapy can be adapted to meet your unique circumstances.

Common reasons people seek therapy

People come to therapy with me for many different reasons, including:

  • Communication and conflict

  • Jealousy and insecurity

  • Attachment and emotional regulation

  • Boundary setting

  • Intimacy and sexuality

  • Relationship transitions

  • Trauma and past relationship experiences

  • Identity exploration

  • Parenting and family dynamics

  • Life balance and burnout

Sometimes the goal isn't solving a crisis. It's building relationships that feel more intentional, connected, and sustainable over time.

Relationships don't have to fit a traditional model to be healthy, loving, or meaningful.

If you're looking for a therapist who understands consensual non-monogamy without asking you to defend or explain it, I'd be happy to talk with you about whether working together feels like the right fit.
